My SLI build for your consideration

[Seifgard]

Hi, I would like your opinions on the build i am thinking of buying. I already have the graphic cards and SSD/HDD as for the rest I would like your input compatibility wise and whether there are some better options on the same budget. The power supply wont be this exact type but another 700W 80+ certified.

Why would you get a gtx 660 it's like you're not even updated with the gaming components world... Change processor to E3-1231v3 because you're going to need he extra performance of the other 4 threads, change the ssd to an 850 evo with 250gb of storage, change he 3tb to a 2tb black hard drive, change the GYX 660s to 2 GTX 970 ITX and change the case to something like the NZXT Source 210. My setup I just told you about is worlds better and cheaper too.

Ok so disregard just the graphics card and ssd part and you got a nice system.

I thought it was like a brand new build.

What PSU will you be using? This is the single most important part of the PC and is NEVER to be cheaped out on.

He is using a 750w sea sonic modular power supply, I would've said change it if it was anything cheap.

 

[tiny voices]

Nope he is not.

"The power supply wont be this exact type but another 700W 80+ certified. "

Please read the entire first post.

Power supply i am thinking of is Fortron HYPER M 700 PCPartPicker didnt have that one. The cards are older (one is in my current PC) but cost me virtually nothing.

 

[tiny voices]

Nope that unit is crap and will damage the PC.

The PSUs you want are anything form tier 1 or tier 2 in the tier list in my sig.
